Thermalstability of polyphenols P21 Lina Glittmann Juan Sesma Martín
Polyphenols • Definition Polyphenols are a group of chemicals found in plants characterized by the presence of more than one phenol group per molecule. • Properties Polyphenolshave beneficial propertiesfor human
Heatreatments • Drying • Dehydration • Enzymaticreaction
General effects • t>80°C reduction of phenolic compounds • Leaching • Begin of thermal degradation - forming of monomers - reaction among molecules - hydrolysis - oxidation • without thermal treatment amount to enzymatical reactions
Effectsrelatedtoproperties • Epimerization frequency stabilisation • High Polimerization degree degradation • presence of gallate groups heat sensitivity • Biological activity degradation through enzymes • Hydrolysis Stabilization
Effect of polyphenols on heat stability • Preventthermaldegradation of more sensible compounds • polymeric • Temperaturearound 30-55 ̊C • Copigmentationeffect • Oxidationtoquinins • Interactionwithproteins
Kinetics • Degradation instantly in the first 10min • zero order • Velocity constant k increasing with T Time for complete disappearance of total polyphenols kiso values as a function of temperature in extra-virgin oil
